It's not out of context, he's suggesting that the questioner inflate his tires. He went on to say that ALL Americans should inflate their tires and we'd save more oil than if we drilled domestically.
This is illogical, as it would mean we'd ALL have to be driving around on tires that aren't properly inflated. Yes, on an individual level, inflated tires will boost your fuel economy, however it is ridiculous to think that's the answer to the national problem.
I'll concede that Obama's wind/solar plans would definitely help, but so would McCain's drilling and nuclear suggestions. However, wind/solar doesn't produce nearly the amount of electricity as nuclear power, which is why it's not a huge success already.
